ENL288

Wish I would've thought to ask my fiancee to look into that! We sent everything in last week. Oh well, we had lots of other reservation receipts so, fingers crossed!

I made sure to change contact names and go over the sample messages to make sure there was none of that since we do occasionally! Definitely just in fun and not official, but I've read that it can cause major issues

We did take the train once and I did include those tickets with our names on them, albeit they're in German. But they are in there!

We have met both inside the U.S. and in her home country. Germany stamped my passport, the U.S. has not stamped hers once but we’ll include all of the digital boarding passes and what we have without them I suppose.

That’s definitely something we have in the back of our minds also about our commitments. Unfortunately we made many of these prior to deciding to file the K-1 so now we are just working with what we have.

So, essentially, there’s nothing that can really hurt me to include? We have our statements of intent signed and dated, but I can include our venue contracts and our confirmation with our officiant. I just wanted to double check our digital boarding passes wouldn’t be an issue since you can’t see the date on them so we’ll have to explain the dates elsewhere on the document. But we have matching accommodation receipts so I’d think it won’t be an issue.

Definitely! I didn’t scan everything into a Word doc but I did make copies of everything while I have the originals.

I'm in the final stages for compiling our package to send off and now I'm down to all of my oddball questions that I haven't found specific instances asking about. 1. For our ongoing relationship proof, I have some call logs of our FaceTime calls, and I can pick through our texts if it's helpful. I also have post cards and letters but the dates aren't legible on them because they were stamped over the stamps in faded ink. Is that an issue? Is this enough to include and are the texts needed? We also have 15 photos we're including spanning our 4 trips together. 2. For proof of travel, I have my passport stamps from my visit. However, the US hasn't stamped her passport the last 3 visits she's been here. We have her I-94 because we started working on this while she was visiting and therefore some documents are dated during her time here and we included her info on the i129f. We also have boarding passes but they're digital. Right now, I've put the digital (expired) boarding passes on a word doc with text stating when they're from underneath. I'm not sure if that's good enough or what more I can do given we don't have paper ones (except one from my return flight that I included copied on the sheet with my passport stamps). 3. For proof we will get married within 90 days -- we have a full wedding planned a year from now, crossing our fingers that we have enough time and won't have to withdraw our petition and start a new one with the CR-1. We originally planned to file the CR-1 so that's why we've booked everything but since the K-1's have sped up in approval, we decided we had nothing to lose to be together sooner. We have vendors booked, venue, and officiant. Do I include these correspondence with the i129f to prove we intend to get married? We both signed letters of intent based on the template on VJ (very simple, just a couple lines) and I have the receipts for her ring, but I have more I can include. I'm just not sure if there's a benefit or if this could somehow hurt us for having so much planned when we don't know exactly when she'll be approved. This is all so stressful and I want to do everything possible to minimize all chances for an RFE, so I'm trying to cover my bases in advance. Thank you!
